>>it'll pass eventually

I hope so. It might happen sooner ... if you can start being ultra kind to yourself. NOTHING wrong with doing that. The more ... the better. Kindness brings happiness. It begins from the inside. THEN it is nourished from the OUTSIDE. Starts inside first though.

Take it on.. can't hurt.

unfortunately ..it is all to easey to find ourselves in a rut ...and even harder to get out of one .....but ..you just can't stay there ...you might need some extra rest ...that happened ..but ..than it is time to start pushing your self ..to do things that ....will move you forward ..that you might not feel to comfortable with ...but it will come and at that time give your self a nother push to go further ..and soon you will find your self out of that rut .....never wanting to go back ............to keep from going into a rut ..is that when you just feel like you can't get up or do somthing ..take a day or two to rest ..that will usualy help ...and than get right back to what you were doing befor ......I have been in ruts a few times ..if you let a rut get away from you ..the next step is getting house bound ...and you don't want to go there .......I am lucky enought to have a very good understanding husband ........because at one time I would not even go outside ..if he wasent home ..I had to keep all my curtains closed and if someone came to the door I would hide in my bedroom till they left ..I would not answer my phone eather .......and the only way that worked to get me out of that was to push my self .out of my comfort zone ....and than push some more untill I was back driving ...and walking and being able to be outside when I was home alone ............I hope you work your way out of your rut ....take good care of your self ....I will keep you in my prayers ....God bless

That is what my Mom is like, and I worry about her. Maybe you could try to be more social or pick up a hobby?

Being stuck in a rut is tough. And yei it is somewhat comfortable because it's predictable, even though at the same time it can drive us crazy. Obviously yu can function at least because you go to work. So you need to use some of that strength and energy when you're at home.
Start small so you don't overwhelm yourself. Set your timer for twenty minutes. During that twenty minutes do something you enjoy or used to enjoy before you became depressed. When that twenty minutesis up go back to watching t.v. Then try it again for thiry minutes ths time. Slowly build your way up to a couple of hours. Throw some housework in there too from time to time. After doing this a while see if you feel any better.

How about using http://www.meetup.com as that has been a real Godsend for me?

I'm home a lot because I am disabled so it is very easy for me to get in a rut. Sometimes I will sit on the couch for hours and just smoke because I'm bored lonely tired and depressed. I have a dog and three cats so it is important that I vacuum a lot but there is days I just can't seem to do it. Fortunately. yesterday I pushed myself real hard and cleaned the whole house from top to bottom it took me most of the day but after wards I felt that I accomplished a lot and I felt better about myself and today I woke up to a nice clean house and that felt good as well.
